In 2017, Dave “El Presidente” Portnoy started a video series for Barstool Sports called One Bite with Davey Pageviews, where he gives “one bite” pizza reviews by “the common man, for the common man.” He has reviewed pizza places in New York, New Jersey, and now, Florida! In fact, he recently visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World where he stopped by PizzeRizzo.
Of course, he couldn’t order a pizza without giving a pizza review. The interesting thing is, everyone was expecting him to give PizzeRizzo a poor review so when he gave them a 7.1, fans clapped back.
Barstool Sports posted the full video review of the pizza from PizzeRizzo on their Twitter, writing:

Within the video, you can hear Portnoy describe the pizza from PizzeRizzo as “far crispier than I ever thought that was going to be.” After taking more than one bite, which fans have not hesitated to point out, Portnoy gave the pizza a 7.1 out of 10, which had fans shocked.
Twitter user Miss Allison pointed out everything wrong with this review:
1) Nope not the rat from Ratatouille. 2) The restaurant in EPCOT is not called “Pizza Napoli”. 3) Surely either that 7.1 is out of 100 or your taste buds have perished along with your ability to research the place you’re about to do a video about.

Dave Wants Real Info said that his review was generous, thinking PizzeRizzo only deserves a five or six, at best:
7.1. that surprises me for a Disney restaurant, would have thought 5 or 6. There was a place in Jersey the other day where you seemed very pleased and it got a 7.1.

Which is something LA King Steve agreed with:
PizzaRizzo is a 5 or 6 at best.

And Jim Gable replied to Barstool Sports, saying they have to “throw the review flag”, writing:
7.1? I gotta throw the review flag. Via Napoli in Epcot would be an 11.4 based on that scale. And it’s probably a 7.5 on the scale. The ears must have thrown you off
